Dec 27, 2007 - Kenneth Craig, 27, high school track coach at Las Vegas High School and a substitute teacher, was arrested Dec 20 on charge of sexual misconduct with a student.
He is facing a criminal charge after he was accused of getting a female team member pregnant and helping her get an abortion. (LasVegasNow: "The police report says the girl got pregnant and says Craig's girlfriend at the time paid for the abortion." - the only news story to report that.)
Craig's former girlfriend reported the relationship. Craig claims the relationship occurred after the girl graduated, but investigators obtained e-mails and messages between Craig and the then-17-year-old senior that contradict his account. The investigation took seven months.
From San Diego Union-Tribune: Medical records obtained by police through a grand jury subpoena showed the victim had an abortion in June 2006, the same month she graduated, police said.
Craig's ex-girlfriend, Deanna Riddle, told police she suspected Craig had a relationship with the girl, and said she drove the girl to a doctor's office near the end of her senior year in school.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Feb. 20.
